NATHAN S. WAKEFIELD, OF CAMDEN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TOQUINCYBARBER, OF SAME PLACE.

MACHINE FOR CUTTING PEGS FROM BOCTS OR SHOES.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 281,587, dated July 17,1883.

Application filed May 22 1883. (N model.) F

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN S. WAKEFIELD, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Camden, in the county of Oneida and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines forCutting Pegs from the Inside of Shoes and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to letters or figures of reference marked'thereon, which form a partof this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation; Figs.2 and 3,

vertical sections. Fig. 4 is a top view Fig. 5, a top View with cap andcutter-head removed; Figs. 6 and 7, details. My invention relates tocertain improvements in machines for cutting pegs from the inside ofshoes by means of a revolving cutting-head; and it consists in a certainnovel construction and arrangement of the various parts, all of which Iwill now proceed more particularly to point out and describe.

Referring to the drawings, similar letters of reference indicate likeparts.

A is a hollow standard, made of any suitable material, preferably ofcast metal, and secured at its base to a stand or table, B.

C is a metal frame, hinged to the standard A by pins a, which have theirbearings in the straps or projections a, whichare secured to the outsideof the standard, the top of said frame C being hollowed out to receivethe gear-wheels and cutting-head, as hereinafter described.

D D are gear-Wheels, which mesh with each other and rest in the frame C,the gearwheel Dhaving the flange c.

E is the cutting-head, which is screwed o the flange c.

d is a screw which passes through the center of the cutting-head E andgear-wheel D, and screws througha hole, d, in the bottom of the frame C,and is held in place by the lock-nut (1?, the upper portion of saidscrew d being smooth, and around which the gearD and cuttingheadrevolve.

F is a cap which covers the gear-wheel D and holds the same in place,said cap F being fastened to the frame 0 by screws f, and having theflange e, which is flush with the outer edge of the cutting-head.

G is a shaft working in bearings g g, and,

passing through the table B, is given a revolving motion by any suitablemeans. 0n the top of said shaft G is a double or gimbal joint, H, theupper part of said joint projecting through the hole h in the bottom ofthe frame C, and having the screw end I, which screws into thegear-wheel D, and the projecting end i, which passes through saidgearwheel and has its bearings in the hole 73 in the cap F. K is anadjusting-rod pivoted to the frame C, and passes down through thestandard A, out the opening 70, its lower cndbeing bent to form a springwhich engages with the notches'k, by means of which rod the frame andcuttinghead can be adjusted at any desired angle, thus forming acombined heel and toe peg float or cutting machine.

The operation of my invention is as follows; The frame andv cutting-headbeing adjusted at the desired angle, a revolving motion is imparted tothe shaft G by any suitable means. The gear-wheel Dis thus caused torevolve, and, meshing with the gear D, imparts to it and thecutting-head E a rotary motion.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters I Patent ard A, and having the gear-wheels D D,cutting-head E, screw d, and cap F, in combination with the shaft G,having the double or giinbal joint H, screw end I, and means for joint Hand screw end I, substantially as operating said shaft, substantially asshown shown and described. 10 and described. In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in 3. In a peg-cutting machine, the frame 0, presenceof two witnesses. hinged to the hollow standard A, having the NATHAN S.WAKEFIELD.
